Rich Wilkerson Jr. - Make or Break: Break Up or Break Down

  • For a rose bush to flourish, it requires pruning. Removing parts that inhibit growth allows the bush to reach its fullest potential. John 15:1-4 says we're the vine and God cuts off weak branches so that we may be more fruitful. You can’t produce if you are not pruned.

    Continuing the “Make or Break” series with the talk, “Break Up or Break Down," Pastor Rich Wilkerson, Jr. shows that it’s time for some personal pruning for our relationships to flourish.

    Sometimes we make the mistake of breaking off the wrong things. We hurry to quit the person rather than the thought patterns that got us into our mess in the first place. But we ought to break up with the fairytales. The fantasy of “love at first sight” or “happily ever after.”
    If we want successful relationships, we should skip mystical thinking and odd superstitions. We must get a clear sense of when feelings are in the way and we start to treat love like a trend rather than a commitment. And while failures are disappointing, they don't mean we should give up on relationships for good.
    Love is a decision. If you want your relationships to begin anew, you may need to break up with the thinking that breaks them down.

    Relationships, they are always going to require us to trust again, to believe again, to hope again, to risk again!!!!!!

    - Happily ever after is not a destination; it's a journey!
    - If love is nothing more than a feeling, then love will be nothing more than a trend. Trends go in & out of style.
    - Choose a spouse based on patterns, not potential.
    ahh! Thank you, Pastor Rich!!

    Just why is it that this man who looks like he’s 30 probably grew up listening to the Backstreet Boys has taught me more about healthy relationships than a combination of my preacher Sunday school teachers church friends mother grandmother and all my friends? Because he made a point to do so.

  • @SenorConrad
    @SenorConrad Před 5 lety +6

    Thank you for all the good work you do in your community & you try to do in the world. I think as I mature as a believer, I don’t grow as a follower of Christ because of self improvement sermons, there is so much being said that is man opinion based but no scripture references. The word of God is what helps you grow. It’s how God speaks to you. Saying Jesus every 5 minutes isn’t using the scripture. I need God’s word to help me and change me. Hearing God’s word, the scriptures it’s based on and knowing I can rely on the word of God in the Bible verses is what helps remind me of what to do when I’m faced with that particular situation. God bless you, keep doing your best, but please give me bible verses not just a self improvement talk. Not just starting the talk off with 1 verse and then go on and on. God bless you.

    - often its not about where you start but where you choose to stop / ecclesiastes 2: 1
    - the season has shifted but you are still holding onto something that no longer bears fruit
    - if you aren’t pruned, you won’t produce

    I am going to continue listening but I wanted to quickly call out how insensitive the Uber vs Taxi driver example was. There has been a huge uptake in taxi driver suicide in nyc and it’s not quite as simple as those drivers simply switching to Uber. Uber doesn’t give drivers the same kinds of protection. On top of that Uber’s corporate leaders have been call out with accusations of rape and many other things. So yeah don’t expect me to clap for Uber.
